Thank you for coming to my presentation entitled "Using Every Day Technology to Accommodate Students with Exceptionalities" at the OKCEC Conference on March 1, 2013.
The point of this presentation is how to engage regular education teachers in the adaptive technology process by encouraging them to be aware and to try to a include students in their classroom using technology that everyone has.
